Title: Comparison and existence theorems for backwards stochastic DE's with discontinuous generators Authors: Nikolaos Halidias (Univ. of the Aegean, Samos, Greece) Peter E. Kloeden (Goethe-Univ., Frankfurt, Germany) Abstract: An existence result is proved for backwards stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with a generator f(t,x,z) which is possibly discontinuous in the x variable. For this comparison results are first established for BSDEs with the generator satisfying a generalized Lipschitz condition in its x variable. Submitted May 25, 2010. Published August 26, 2011.
